Was pretty cool to watch Jessie try to match Oswald supposedly popping off three shots at a moving target in 6 seconds with that rifle..

Oswald was also an expert marksman.

Is Jesse?

Unless you've been living under a rock since November of 2004, JFK Reloaded is a ballistics trajectory, impact and results simulator that attempts to recreate the most important aspects of the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963. It is designed to give some semblance of a recreation of the last few moments of the President's life, and challenges players to help disprove any conspiracy theory by recreating the three shots fired by Lee Harvey Oswald from the Sixth Floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository in Dallas, Texas. Using data collected by the Warren Commission in 1964, the program places the player in the role of Oswald, and allows them to examine the challenges that he faced in committing his actions. By allowing the player to either duplicate or alter Oswald's actions, the program's designers believe that JFK Reloaded can help players determine if Oswald, in fact, was the "Lone Nutter", acting solely on his own. This is accomplished by the player's attempts to duplicate Oswald's shots by matching their own shots to the ballistic models determined by the Warren Commission. especially the model that best fits the trajectory and impact results of so-called "Magic Bullet", exhibit CE399, the keystone to the Commission's controversial "Single Bullet Theory".

All of the above aside, JFK Reloaded - or, as it's affectionately known, JFKR - is essentially a first-person shooter game much in the same vein as Doom, Half-Life, Quake or Unreal Tournament. What arguably differentiates JFKR from being a game along the lines of the three examples listed is that it's more of an interactive simulation, highly derivative from the research into the events at Dealey Plaza as performed by PBS on it's Nova program in 1991, or by Dale Myers in 1993, both of which featured the first use of Computer Graphics (CGI) to recreate said events. However, as with a first-person shooter, events can reach different conclusions based on player actions. In the case of JFKR, Oswald's actions can be altered on-the-fly in ways that totally diverge from known history.

Actually Jesse wasn't a Navy SEAL. He was an UDE (Underwater Demolition Expert) The SEALS were a separate team from UDT's until 1983 after Jesse retired. UDT's seen much less action than SEALS. While he never seen any combat in 'Nam or elsewhere, the guy did get the skills of a special operations force, so he was no slouch.. How much firearm training he got and had back then is still unknown.
The thing was the footage they showed with JV using the same weapon that LHO supposedly used to achieve such excellent shots in a 6 second frame, clearly showed there was no margin of error to achieve such a feat..
A feat that even the best seasoned SWAT, Green Beret and SEAL member has been able to duplicate.. Hmmm...

My belief is, if you are dying and hoping to get into "heaven", you aren't going to lie about the bad things you may have done in your life.. If this guy was dying, what would his "confession" achieve in his death? A book and movie deal?
Is God going to judge your believability and award you an Oscar when you get there?
I always thought deathbed confessions are usually an attempt to achieve forgiveness for your sins you've committed on earth..

Wow...well can't argue that logic. All "deathbed confessions" must be 100 percent locks.

Or the dying guy could just be an asshole. Or he could be senile. Or he could be a mumbler and the idiots making the Tv show just mold it into whatever they want.

Conspiracy theorists are among the biggest idiots on the planet, and they'll grab onto any frayed thread to keep their retarded game going. Fuck the lot of them.

Yeah you're right.. Just to be an asshole, I'm going to confess to the Green River and Zodiac killings, being a Nikki Sixx stand in during the Theatre of Pain tour and to delaying Chinese Democracy by 10 years, just to appease conspiracy theorists, tv shows and make my family look like fools for having such a rambling whackjob for a relative..
